Swisher Electric Cooperative - Supporting the Government in Action Youth Tour
Each year over 1,300 high school juniors and seniors from across the country travel to our nation’s capitol to experience our national treasures, see government in action and discuss the issues of the day with their Congressmen and Senators. Swisher Electric Cooperative -  Government in Action Youth TourAmong those students are two of Swisher Electric Cooperatives finest students, winners of the Cooperative’s annual Youth Tour speech contest. They are chosen from among the many applicants received as the most deserving to learn from this experience.

For some, the Washington Youth Tour is their first experience away from home. For many, it is their first trip to Washington where they have the opportunity to see our nation’s history and democratic ideals in action. For these students, the trip is more than seeing monuments and going to museums, it is about being part of something special. They have the opportunity to interact with their peers, the best and brightest students that rural America has to offer. It is these young Americans who will be the entrepreneurs, farmers and backbone to our towns and communities in the coming years.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be a part of an annual cooperative tradition and to see first hand the workings of our government in Washington D.C. Enter the 2008 Swisher Electric Government-in-Action Youth Tour speech contest.
